Perhaps it might warm your heart to know that there are roughly 50 or so pastors attending a 1 1/2 day seminar by Professor Deutschlander on the topic "How Luther Became Lutheran". Even though you may not think so, there are still many pastors who think highly of Luther and his works.

GJ - This two-sentence response to a long, thoughtful, and positive review of Deutschlander has two snide remarks in it. Too bad the author forgot to sign his name.
I post material for the pastors and laity who do appreciate Luther. Unfortunately, WELS provides a lot of comic relief. For example, since we are on the subject, Pastor James Skorzewski (aka Ski) bragged in his blog that he saw Deutschlander in Atlanta. The professor emeritus was there to speak at a WELS conference. Ski was there to kneel at the feet of Babtist Andy Stanley. Ski even admitted to Deutschlander that he chose whoopee-worship over a gathering of his fellow pastors.
If 50 WELS pastors applied the lessons of Luther and rebuked false doctrine, there would be a dramatic change in the synod. There is something in Paul about that too, usually read at ordinations. Paul does not say - rebuke those who think Holy Mother Synod is less than perfect.
KJV 2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

So it's acceptable for you to include snide remarks in your postings, but it is somehow unacceptable for people who comment to include snide remarks? Makes perfect sense...
And let me guess...you're going to pull out the "They don't have the right to post snide remarks because they don't publish their name" card.

GJ - Somebody has tender toes.
The laity are seeing what the pastors are like when they can hide behind anonymity. I eager to see the fruit of Deutschlander's labors in the work of the pastors, as they finally bring an end to the Emergent Church apostasy promoted by WELS officials at The Love Shack. Remember, folks, Church and Change was funded by your offering money.
